1. Open lid and remove basket. Fill tank with water or recommended
cleaning solution mixture. Items to be cleaned should be covered by
the liquid being used. Do not fill above max line on tank, taking in to
account that the liquid will rise when the basket and parts to be
cleaned are placed in the tank.
If unit is turned on without water, ultrasonic energy will not be absorbed.
If turned on for more than 15 seconds without water, it may damage or
severely reduce the life of the unit.
2. Plug power cord into outlet. Unit will power on and the LED will display
180, under that a small lighted square will illuminate displaying 3 Min.
Place basket with the items to be cleaned into tank and close lid. At
this point you may press the “On” button to start the cleaning cycle or

the machine is operating correctly. The unit will count down the
remaining time, when the counter reaches 000, the cleaning is com-
plete.
Prolonged cleaning time may result in:
a. Loosening of screws (if used).
b. Increasing pre-existing cracks.
c. Peeling of coating which is already separated.
3. To stop cleaning at any time, press the “Off” button. To resume the
cleaning cycle press the “On” button.
4. When cleaning is completed, unplug power cord from the outlet. Open
lid remove basket. The cleaning solution should be changed if it has

CLEANING SOLUTIONS
It is important to use the proper cleaning solutions for the material being
cleaned. Lyman offers several different ultra-sonic cleaning solutions for
your specific cleaning needs. Always follow the directions on the label of
the cleaning solution for best results.
TURBO®SONIC CONCENTRATED
CARTRIDGE CASE
CLEANING SOLUTION
Scientifically formulated to clean brass cases, will
remove tarnish, oxidation, and carbon buildup better than
competitive formulas. Designed for use in Lyman Turbo
Sonic cleaners and other ultrasonic cleaners. Cleans
brass inside and out, including primer pockets.
• Can be used to clean brass, copper, bronze and
stainless steel
• May be used for removal of light rust from steel
parts, but parts must be inhibited after cleaning
•Not recommended for use on aluminum or steel (other than for
removal of light rust)
• Parts to be cleaned should not have excessive oil - remove bulk oil
before cleaning in this solution.
• Not recommended for cleaning silver, sterling silver or silver plating.

• 6 •• 6 •• 6 •
• Will effectively clean gold jewelry, but avoid immersion of gemstones in
the solution as they may be damaged by the solution or sonic energy
or both.
• For optimum performance when cleaning cartridge cases, avoid more
than 2 layers - keep as much space between cartridges as possible.
• When cleaning cartridge cases, remove the basket from the unit and
load the shells into the basket. Lower the basket into the solution and
shake the basket slightly to help dislodge any bubbles that might be
present inside the cases.
• After making a new cleaning solution, preheat your cleaning solution
mix and run the unit for a minimum of 3 minutes to de-gas the mix.
Dissolved gas in the solution can diminish the ultrasonic energy. Once
de-gassed, it is not necessary to de-gas again until the solution is
changed.
• Discard the solution when it becomes highly discolored or
murky. Rinse the unit with clean water before recharging.
•Do not mix with other cleaners or chemicals.
TURBO®SONIC CONCENTRATED
STEEL & GUN PARTS CLEANING SOLUTION
Scientifically formulated solution to clean steel and stainless
steel parts, removes oil, dirt, carbon build up and powder
residue. Ideal for deep cleaning gun parts and other steel
items including reloading dies and mould blocks.
Designed for use in Lyman Turbo Sonic cleaners and
other ultrasonic cleaners.
•Can be used to clean steel, stainless steel and aluminum gun parts.
Should NOT be used on bare aluminum and non-ferrous metals.
• When cleaning aluminum, keep the use of the sonics to the minimum
time needed. The part(s) can be allowed to soak (no sonics) to help in
decreasing the time required for sonic cleaning. Aluminum can be
damaged by excessive sonic energy.
• Designed to clean oil/grease and carbon buildup.
• Not recommended for cleaning silver, sterling silver or silver plating.
• Avoid cleaning jewelry, particularly gemstones in this cleaning solution.
• Will provide limited corrosion protection - after cleaning, do not rinse
the part(s). The part(s) should be properly drained and allowed to air
dry. Not meant as a long term inhibitor - part(s) should be oiled for long
term corrosion protection.
